Macroorchidism

Macroorchidism is a medical condition characterized by abnormally large testes. It is often associated with certain genetic disorders, such as Fragile X syndrome and McCune-Albright syndrome.

Causes

Macroorchidism is most commonly associated with Fragile X syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes intellectual disability and behavioral and learning challenges. It can also occur in McCune-Albright syndrome, a disorder that affects the skin, bones, and endocrine system.

Symptoms

The primary symptom of macroorchidism is enlarged testes. This can be detected through a physical examination or through imaging tests such as an ultrasound.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of macroorchidism is typically made through a physical examination and medical history. Imaging tests such as an ultrasound may also be used to confirm the diagnosis. Genetic testing may be performed to identify any underlying genetic disorders.

Treatment

Treatment for macroorchidism typically involves managing the underlying condition. This may include hormone therapy or surgery to reduce the size of the testes.
